The people who rule countries now just don't understand. Our generation is going to have to clean the Earth that our parents and grandparents have ruined. Figuratively speaking, it'll be up to people like Vampyr and Dylan to save humanity.

we're doomed!!! doomed i tells ya!!!


as for global warming, yeah...it's been proven a long time ago, but i think what this artcile wants to put forward is that it's our fault and not nature's...right now the only thing i could think of that would REALLY help global warming is if everyone in the world stopped driving cars and started using public transportation or biking or roller blading or something like that. and since that's not going to happen, we're doomed!!

I should've clarified the title. Global Warming - Worse then it seems right now

Driving is not the major contributor to CO2 emissions. Rice fields and cows have always released more than cars, so please, no more of the low emission cars.

Ice fields are constantly shifting which makes it incredibly difficult to get accurate readings of ice levels in the Arctic.

I like how none of their actual numbers are shown in the article. All it says is ocean temperatures show more evidence than air.

Does anyone remember a time about 20 or so years ago when scientists were warning about global cooling?

So I should get a car that puffs out the worst smoke ever and keep driving it all day because its not gonna affect the atmosphere? Sorry, I won't believe that. Even if Cows and Rice fields do, cars are a big contributer, IMO.

Why do you not want low emission cars? Whats the problem in that considering in like 30 years (last I heard I think) fossil fuels will have run out. What will we do then?

The benefits of retrofitting peoples lives into low-emission cars is not efficient enough to the enviroment to warant all this money being thrown at the idea. Making these cars is more costly, uses more energy to make, and pollutes water in the making of these vehicles.

Frankly, newer cars are already doing better with the natural progression of catalytic converters and more efficient motor designs. I don't see what the big hub-bub is to get even lower emission cars that maybe emit a small amount less emissions.

Pouring out smoke? Thats why there are smog checks. I don't want huge clunkers on the road, but you gotta draw the line sooner or later. I'm just drawing it here.

See, I don't want to have a car that is an obvious polluter. I drive a 91 Honda, which does very good on mileage and emissions, before there was this huge uproar about emissions and global warming and everything (at least not as bad as today.) Why did we have to go further than that and force out technology into cars that is not cost-efficient?

Of course cars are contributors of CO2 emissions, but people act like that is the primary reason, which automatically points the finger at us for everything, when other nations have a constant haze of fog over there urban areas (China). Thats one of the main reasons that I'm glad we didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty, because it didn't hold everyone accountable, especially China.

Ok, so if Cows, and Rice fields cause more CO2, why is it since the Industrial Revolution (The past 200-300 years) more damage has been done to the earth, and the earth's ozone than the rest of existance on this planet?

Other areas have a constant haze of Fog? Oh....you must mean like New York, and California, and Florida.

Thos dont seem to be in China..
